markdownHTMLOptions: Markdown HTML rendering options

Description

markdownHTMLOptions returns a character vector listing all the options that are available for the HTML renderer in the markdown package. As a convenience, the package default options were chosen to render well-formed stand-alone HTML pages when using markdownToHTML(). The default options are 'use_xhtml', 'smartypants', 'base64_images', 'mathjax', and 'highlight_code'.

Usage

markdownHTMLOptions(defaults = FALSE)

Arguments

defaults

If TRUE, then only the default options are returned. Otherwise all options are returned.

Value

A character vector listing either all available options or just the default options.

Details

The HTML renderer provides several options described below. To turn these on globally in the markdown package, simply place some or all of them in a character vector and assign to the global option markdown.HTML.options like so:

options(markdown.HTML.options = markdownHTMLOptions())

To reset the options to package default, use:

options(markdown.HTML.options = markdownHTMLOptions(default = TRUE))

To override the global option, pass the options as an argument:

markdownToHTML(..., options = c('skip_images'))

Description of all options:

'skip_html'

suppress output of all HTML tags in the document.

'skip_style'

suppress output of HTML style tags.

'skip_images'

suppress output of HTML image tags.

'skip_links'

suppress output of HTML anchor tags.

'safelink'

only create links for known url types, e.g. http, ftp, http, etc.

'toc'

assigns an HTML id to each header of the form 'toc_ where ' (starting at 0), and creates the table of contents.

'hard_wrap'

adds an HTML br tag for every newline (excluding trailing) found within a paragraph.

'use_xhtml'

create XHMTL 1.0 compliant HTML tags.

'escape'

escape all HTML found within the markdown. Overrides all of the 'skip_*' options mentioned above.

'smartypants'

translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into smart typographic punctuation HTML entities.

'fragment_only'

eliminates the inclusion of any HTML header or body tags, CSS, or Javascript components.

'base64_images'

Any local images linked with the '<img>' tag to the output HTML will automatically be converted to base64 and included along with output.

'mathjax'

includes appropriate Javascript libraries to render math markup.

'highlight_code'

includes appropriate Javascript libraries to highlight code chunks.

See the EXAMPLES section to see the output of each option turned on or off.
